  • I was only doing some AI stuff and ran into some problems FPS wise. When there are >10 zombies in range the fps drops way below a playable status. So that could may be a problem. Looks Iike I have to find a more efficient way to use AI.

    I'm willing to help you to find the problem; i can assure you it is an issue in the events you're using for the AI, because my game can handle 100 animals each with collision checks and (rather complex) AI in a huge map without performance issues (and my PC is not even mid-powerful).

    Send me a screenshot of your AI events or a save with them, i really want to see your game come to life.

  • This project looks absolutely impressiv and great - really fantastic!!!

    Als skelooth say, i can't believe that it's made with C2

    Good luck and i hope you can release it!

    Thanks! C2 is extremely powerful, i'll never stop repeating that

    Btw, the

    is up!

  • TiAm yea let's hope to see this issue closed soon, i want the best for me gama, biatches!

  • TiAm why do you still prefer 10.5? 12 alpha2 seems to fix every jank problem for me, even though CPU usage is still weirdly higher than 10.5 and previous. But overall, i feel the game runs even smoother (placebo?).

  • Thanks, should be fixed in the next build.

    Thank you

  • I know i can just assign the same tag to all sounds and use it, but they already use their own tags logic-wise. I did actually make an event that pauses all tags (huge list), but is there a way to tell the game to pause ALL sounds actually playing without listing all tags and repeat the action? I dont need to silence them, but pause them.

  • welp, lets say Scirra team deserves a break like anyone else :3

    It was a lie bth, i want Ashley to be a never stopping working machine

    Yes, my minion, complete that update, NOW! mwhahah!

  • This is not to beg or anything, i'm just wondering if, considering Scirra just started the winter holydays (that they DESERVE on the highest possible degree!) you think that the r193 is realistically possible to see the light of day anytime soon, or only in january.

    Once again ,i m not asking for haste or anything, just sheer curiosity

    (i love every C2 update, i'm kinda addicted!)

  • Looks like using "Create Object" and adapting the events to it solved the issue in my project, the bug is still there for C2 though, but it concerns "Spawn another Object".

  • Any idea on how to overcome this before (and if) Ashley settles it? It is very gamebreaking for my project

  • Some groups don't even need to be moved for me, they uncollapse as soon as i save, exit and load the project.

    I made another Report with CAPX which should work better, give a look ->

  • Problem Description

    Either "For Each" or "Spawn Another Object" (or even save/load) doesn't work properly for few seconds, after Save -> Refresh -> Load

    Attach a Capx

    See attached Capx

    Description of Capx

    There are 6 RED sprites overlapping each a BLACK sprite.

    Every tick, each RED overlapping BLACK (all 6) spawns an arrow, and set its angle toward the BLACK the RED is overlapping (the arrows fades out in 0.1 sec to avoid garbage)

    Normally, each arrow points to the BLACK overlapping "its own" RED (from where it was originated), but if you follow the steps below, something STRANGE happens.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

      1 - Save (S) 2 - Refresh the page (or close/run preview) 3 - Load the previous save (L)

    Observed Result

    1 - Check the Arrows, for few seconds after loading, they are NOT pointing EACH to the BLACK picked by the condition as they should, but to a single BLACK.

    2 - Wait few seconds and the bug disappears (arrows go back to pointing each to its proper BLACK), this doesn't always happen, i don't know why.

    Expected Result

    Arrows should always point to each black picked by the condition, but this doesn't happen if you save, refresh and load.

    This bug has awful consequences in my game! (plz fix it Ash i luv you :3)

  • Changing opacity won't create any extra render cell work (it's not moving or Z ordering), but changing the angle counts as moving.

    Thank you Ashley, that answered my question!

  • Danwood

    For more info on render cells, Ashley has a new, in depth blog post:

    https://www.scirra.com/blog/ashley/14/h ... cells-work

    Yep i've checked it, my question regards this part:

    When to avoid it?

    Any layers with lots of changing objects - either creating, destroying, moving or changing Z order - will probably incur more extra work than is saved by the cheap viewport checks

    Does it include opacity/angle sine? If i have 1000 objects iwth angle or opacity sine, does it count as trade-off for cell rendering?
